What are Yin and Yang Foods?

[@cindeeduong]

Growing up, I struggled to understand what is hot and cold foods and now that I'm grown up and have a better grasp of it, I struggle to explain it to others haha.

[@AB-hq6kw]

Cindee Duong 😂😂😂😂😂

[@sophiashcherbakova2867]

This was great, I've been looking for "learning powerful methods to build your Chi energy" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Fellmeroni Rudimentary Chi - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my partner got excellent results with it.

[@Lalaland101ist]

Finally someone who understands old Chinese medicine theories! So helpful, thanks Mia!

[@DivinexSerenity]

My mom always tells me that I have the "Up fire" type of body that's why I'm more prone to break-outs, stress, and etc. It's weird but I do notice 100% of the time whenever I eat a type of food that is in the "Yang" category, I would break out the very next day. For instance, Jack fruits and instant ramen noodles are "hot" foods which I sadly have to avoid consuming. ):

[@Serjo777]

You don't have to avoid anything if you're not allergic, you just have to stop believing random bs.

[@DivinexSerenity]

It's not really "random bs" if thousands even millions of ppl in Asia believe in this. It does have to do with Eastern beliefs and medicines.

[@markspancing9343]

Just wonderful, I have been researching "learning powerful methods to build your Chi energy" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Fellmeroni Rudimentary Chi - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my brother in law got amazing results with it.

[@HaHa-gg9dl]

@@DivinexSerenity Maybe lookup foods that lead to breakouts?

[@PuteriModiyanti]

learned so many new things from this video! great job xx

[@Mari14Bella]

I've been subscribing to lots of beauty channels and yours by far is the best ! You deserve way more subscribers (: Glad I found you

[@hanamiumel2650]

This is very interesting! What about people who have symptoms of both yin and yang? Like cold hands and feet, but also break outs at the same time... what would you recommend in such a case?

[@kabamyo]

could not have explained this better myself! i am chinese as well and was looking for a better way to understand Yin & Yang because we apply it to many things!

[@libertyprime69]

In addition, I think there are foods that occupy a relative neutral spot on this dichotomy. And others which are neither strongly hot or cold, maybe just mildly warm or cold. They fall somewhere in the middle of this continuum.

[@hxinglin2783]

I always look forward to your videos Mia! so informative & helpful :D I always know when I'm consuming to much yang foods but this definitely helps (btw looking good with black hair~)

[@ericpham4011]

Thanks.

[@bubbly6699]

What about in the winter when your body gets cold and you get dry lips? Wouldn't that be more Yin energy?

[@darlyndelight]

I am soo confused/mindblown because when you eat too many Yang foods you get chapped lips, dry skin, break outs, sore throat and thats just like me but when you eat too much Yin foods it is also just like me.... cold hands and feet, stomach pains, hyper sensitivity and nervousness so I am the negative of Yin and Yang!

[@TheFashionNMakeup]

You're so knowledgeable! Love your videos!(:

[@laddi3045]

Your videos are really knowledgeable.... Thanx for sharing your knowledge with us

[@the18Ting]

just to clarify for you Mia =), orange (the round and big one) is yin and mandarin orange/ tangerine is yang; for those who are having a cold/sore throat, don't eat too much mandarin oranges!!

[@vanityrae83]

Wow! This is VERY informative, yet confusing. I believe it all to be true. Is have to watch this video 500 more times for this info to really stick. Thanks for sharing :)

[@rawshi7931]

Chinese medicine was born from the ancient Indian science of Ayurveda. I like the simplicity of the Yin & Yang approach as opposed to the various doshas in Ayurveda 🙌🏾

[@MeeeeeonYT]

Found this video interesting! Thanks Mia

[@ogaana6753]

wow gurl! Thank you for this brilliant-ness

[@libertyprime69]

This is a real phenomenon. Each lots of bacon and fried chicken and your always feel thirsty even after drinking water. Eat melons and drink Chrysanthemum tea to get the feeling in your mouth back to normal.

[@sLErMi]

Thank You Mia!!♥♥♥♥

[@jejehare6510]

love this video

[@MoniNoni93]

I have been having a stomach ache for 3 days now, noting that im recovering from a surgery, removed my tonsils :(, and i can only cold drinks and eat cold food :( , is there anyway that i can balance what im eating with out having to eat heated food??

[@leadersforgood_HCL]

Would you please post the lists of Yin/Yang foods you had scrolling on your video? Thank you, in advance!

[@HaninH.]

Do any of you know the program she used to make the drawings?

[@shwetakolli7809]

My body yin and yang at the same time... What should I do to maintain the balance???

[@Stsebastian8900]

i have symptoms of both yin and yang? cold hands, nervousness, stomach issues, but also hot stomach, acid and sore throat!

[@rajijojo]

I love it

[@mahe78]

Could I follow Yin/Yang on a mostly vegan diet?

[@BeautyWithin]

Yes you can. There are numerous vegetables that in the YANG category. You can always incorporate nuts into your diet to balance the YING as well as adding ginger to your stir fry dishes.

[@96KayDee]

+mahe78 thank you for asking, i was wondering this too!

[@rahalive123]

What about meats? like chicken and turkey. would that be heat foods?

[@kawaiiroom1014]

OMG YAS, My mom says Sháng Huô(*not correct accent) more than I love you lol it's normal though. Im chinese...

[@Salabrina2002]

DO MORE DRAWING VIDEOS IT'S SOOOOOO GOOOD

[@olwenlo7006]

I am very confuse now.... Am I balanced? I always have breakouts, sore throats, and chapped lips. Which means too much Yang food. However on the other hand, I always have cold hands and feet, and hypersensitivity. Which means too much yin food. So... I am very confuse. Am I balanced? Or too much yin? Or too much yang?

[@KayleyRobertshaw]

Is Yin and Yang a religion? I've been doing a bit of research, and I really want to find out about it, and maybe start learning about it. Love your videos btw x

[@adamcheek8231]

Yin and Yang is NOT a religion. IT IS MORE OF A PHILOSOPHY

[@jamielaw4749]

Yes! Great vid! But I'm wondering , is fried food considered hot? When ever I eat too much fried/junk food I get this sore in my mouth, and my mom says I'm "hot breath" in direct translation, does this refer to hot and cold food? Also, do you know what this sore is called in English ? Thanks !!!

[@SalawuIbrahim]

You are so pretty

[@FreddieSn]

So different articles say different things , so I don't know which is right

[@shabbbrina]

Hey, I really love your channel! I wanna ask, what if my body shows that I'm a yang but based on your lip color video, I have grey lip liner and have to avoid yin foods. I'm a bit confused what I should eat to balance my body. Thanks!

[@soesoegjjpoe9968]

Please do a video on Oral Hygiene

[@Rusinurnar]

thanks if i really want to know something i can always come to you :))

[@TheRainyAsian]

Do you use 中药？If so, would you recommend it? What's are your experiences with it? Is it effective?

[@BeautyWithin]

I have in the past ^_~ I find it more effective with less side effects but the process is lengthy and slow

[@TheRainyAsian]

Thanks!

[@timothyh5805]

Instead of 上火 my parents says 熱氣

[@timothyh5805]

Which literally means hot air

[@ZiggyWhiskerz]

yeeeehehehehees! this is great! XD

[@ricebunny425]

What program do you use for drawing?

[@sakshidubey1634]

U look beautiful in black hair

[@cvndcd2317]

养生make you look younger,longer,healther.as a chinese,dont you think it is 迷信?

[@Bas3m3nt]

[@yzee8582]

haha chinese parents and their :"you are up fire" tsktsk Every time I get breakout or cold sore, my mom goes like:" Told you to not eat so much hot pot!" Thank you Mia, I'll def share this video next time ppl ask me about it and I can't rly explain!

[@alive325]

well the world doesnt spin but yes(:

[@torpid3667]

I am yin...

[@GodsWheat]

[@merveakyol4246]

why all asians drawin soooo good??

[@kyeoptawerk93ah]

i'm asian and i can't draw to save my life. maybe because i'm only half? haha

[@merveakyol4246]

yess :) maybe ur special one ;)

[@emmalin1727]

omg! Whenever I get an ulcer in my mouth my parents tell me that我上火了!Then they say I need to eat more fruit, i need to sleep more, I need to blah blah blah..

[@ronzalpha]

Interesting! But according to my family, there's also a Neutral zone, where yin and yang are so miniscule, that it's considered neutral to your body. And most cantonese families here in NYC seem to adhere to that too. But then again, it'll make your video a lot more complex in categorizing.

[@Scouting_for_Films]

Well in Guangdong, we always drink Yin Tea凉茶 to avoid getting 上火

[@DarthJF]

Interesting. I've been wondering how that goes.

[@JENNYLEESLIFE]

I love your videos! So so informative and interesting. And you're incredibly gorgeous xx

[@BeautyWithin]

Thanks Jaylee xx

[@ukisssh]

Love the illustrations!

[@basedbattledroid3507]

My closest local supermarkets have no yang foods and it's just so annoying, raspberries are the only thing I could find.

[@MarilynMarie]

did you dye your hair black? looks nice :)

[@nhtn91]

so why do i have acne and cold hands and feet at the same time?

[@cheyrosefontaine3432]

PSA If you want scientific theory backing Acupuncture performed by a M.D. read my little blurb below (not a doctor, just a self-disciplined 19y/o researcher/healthcare/Stanford medical accreditation) Think of it this way, What is your body made up of? Atoms. Atoms are positively(yin) and negatively(yang) charged particles that create the basis of life. The positively charged particle is in the nucleus of the atom whereas the electron orbits and can transfer between roughly estimated valence shells. Atoms interact with other atoms that then bring us here. In order to fix our problems, we must first break them into their smallest pieces, which in this case is the atom. Similarly to how a car would run totally off when the alternator starts acting funny, which generates electricity by increasing sub-atomic particle collisions aka electrons and protons. Long story short, energies do exist. Acupuncture is the tool used to release the energy blockage. Have you ever walked into a room and just felt heavy energy? You're not wrong! You can quite literally feel another person' energy as it is directly interacting with the atomic particles in the air that then eventually reach you and interact with your energy levels. Still not convinced energy levels exist? It's our hidden 6th sense--hence why we feel uneasy around certain people or oddly calm around others with no explanation. You can only imagine what Wifi is doing to our energy channels. Keep questioning everything around you.

[@saxhubdotjazz]

why would anyone give this a thumbs down?

[@-youresogolden-7829]

I wonder if this only applies to people of Asian descent bc my friends can eat 3 bags of Cheetos in a day and nothing would happen. while when I eat half a bag, my throat always gets a strep and flares up like crazy.

[@fAnTaGeChRiStInA0319]

you draw so good :O

[@WojtekGolaBezPindola]

Mia! I just noticed you have a micky-mouse-hairline like I do. Could you please make a video about styling tips? I recently got a fringe and it goes up all the time because of my silly hairline, and in general I struggle with choosing hairstyles and styling my hair because of it. Thank you in advance, this would be sooo helpfull!

[@thedaemonicblackcat]

You have to train your fringe. Pin it down in the direction you want it to go for a week or so and it should start behaving after a while.

[@WojtekGolaBezPindola]

thedaemonicblackcat I think you made up this method because hair doesn't work that way...hair bounces back after a shower or even after a sleep. Drying my fringe on a brush is the only thing that works but it doesn't last for longer than a day and it takes me quite some time to do as well.

[@thedaemonicblackcat]

Igabella Sorry. This method worked fine for me, but if you wash your hair more than once or twice a week it probably won't work for you on its own. If you do that in combination with the blow drying it may work. Also if you have very fine hair or if your bangs have been thinned you may need to weight them down a bit with product. If your hair is thin I don't think Mia would be able to help you. She has thick asian hair like I do and it behaves differently to other hair types regardless of hairline.

[@alrightsayyeah]

Hey I have to agree with thedaemonicblackcat because I used to have a parting on my left, but decided to part it on the right and in doing so I had to train it so after the shower I'd brush it in the direction I want it to go and pin it then blow dry it and use hair spray, I wore pins a lot after about 2 weeks it naturally started to fall that way, 5 years on it still does, it's just about getting the follicles used to resting a certain way Because now when I try to part my hair on the left it starts flipping back over lol

[@WojtekGolaBezPindola]

thedaemonicblackcat I have a lot of thick hair, but my hairline makes it imposible for the hair to stay down as the hairs grow up. If I had thin hair I dont think it would be as hard to style it. I have used this 'method' before when I was waay younger but my hair is way too strong to obey to that. And hmm you never know what kind of hair knowledge Mia has, so that's why I asked - who knows maybe she can help me.

[@parkapricity]

I eat more ying foods than yang foods. But, I snack on yang foods...

[@vanessarodriguez429]

Do you have any tips for pregnant women? My mom says eating foods that are too acidic can be harmful to the embryo.

[@DanaTippe]

Me complaining about pimple -> Dad: "you eat too much hot food".

[@cherisly4207]

The world was made to spin that was a easy question.

Wow I actually already knew most of these *pats self* I'm proud! :D

[@farwahussain6377]

warm foods have high protein level . . .

[@jamielaw4749]

Yes! That's how it works, warm has a lot of a certain thing and cold does too, that's why you need both!

[@farwahussain6377]

yep .

[@dcd7400]

too me at best any list of foods like this just looks like gibberish because i can't find any kind of definite source. in fact sometimes i find contradicting information. you mention acid/alkaline foods in western study. is there a definite thing like that in determining yin or yang in the food?

[@johanna9025]

D CD no because chinese medicine is largely holistic. however an explanation for it is in fact the acidity and alkalinity in some foods, as the symptoms for acidosis (when your blood ph dips below the normal range) is comparable to the symptoms for 'up fire'.

[@Afghanarama]

Hey, Can somebody tell me where I can learn more about those ancient chinese medicine things like yin and yang foods or the pressure points, which Mia also mentions in some of her videos? Can somebody recommend a book? Thanks :) (and sorry for my english :P)

[@NicoleAnn1111]

Hello. I'm looking for info on (Cooling foods) meal plan. I know I'm carrying heat in my throat and chest. I do see an acupuncturist, once she put points in my kidney area, the heat was gone in minutes and I could breathe again. I have been going through this since March. I would like some direction of cooling foods to eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and what to drink to help my body. Any info would be greatly appreciated! ✌💜🙏

[@erikchenful]

I love chips candy. Steaks. Rice. Etc and hate veggies... my body is very warm/hot and i got nose bleed like 30 minutes daily for the past 4 days... I got sensitive skin such as minor psoriasis breakout in the back neck and often frustrated nowadays such as how to do things at school and choosing stuff such as what to play (games) and which muscle groups to train etc... I dont know whats wrong! I fit it neither Ying or Yang category ... help?

[@ryugeonri]

finally someone helps me to explain the "hot" and "cold" food...yeay! i really had a hard time to explain this to my friend, especially when they are sick and ask me suggestion on food/remedy thx mia

[@VampJapgirl231]

Probably something you have been asked but should girls then eat more yang foods to balance the yin out an visa versa for men?

[@BeautyWithin]

Yes that is right, a lot of the times you will find that women will like to eat more HOT foods and men like to eat more COLD foods. Its interesting ^_~

[@carolinathevampireprincess]

In astrology, to be honest with you the moon is the Yang and the sun is the Yin. A good example for this is, Cancer the crab which the moon is their ruling planet of with feminine energy. While the sun is being ruled by the lemean Lion Leo being the yin because Leo the lion is like the lion king.

[@switjasmin70]

thank you. its simple but useful introduction about ying and yang food for beginners. tks for sharing! 😊

[@rosie8001]

hi Mia have been subscribed to your channel since last year.....i'm also from shanghai,china :D hmmm so i already knew ying and yang or cold and hot food lol

[@kaylasilver5384]

I've always wondered about this and heard of a pressure point that tells you something about this.

[@kellytsang000]

Hi Mia, can you please make a video about semi permanent hair extensions, I want to get them done but I don't know much about it!
